Solution 2: Inaccessible Boot
Device in Windows XP ( WINXP )

Load mass storage drivers for new motherboard during
setup:

Specifying a third-party controller driver during
Setup should be necessary only if Windows 2000 does not contain a driver
for your SCSI adapter, CD-ROM drive, or special disk controller, or if
Setup does not detect your hardware correctly. To select a
third-party controller during Setup:

1) Obtain the correct driver file from the
motherboard or controller card maker. Copy file to a floppy disk.

2) Change motherboards.

3) Place Windows2000 Setup CD in the
CDROM-Drive, reboot, and boot from the CDROM.

4) Early during the first phase of Setup,
at the "Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration"
screen, press the F6 key ASAP; (F6 quickly to prevent drive controller
detection). Then press “S” to specify an additional device.

Alternate: During the first phase of Setup, press F8
to troubleshoot, and choose boot up in Safe Mode. Press F6, then
press “S” to specify an additional device.

Note:You do not need to
install the ATA-100 driver during the WIN2K install process on a
non-RAID IDE motherboard; WIN2K will simply treat it as an ATA-66 drive.
Once Setup is complete, install SP2, and WIN2K will see the drive
as ATA-100. If the drive is on a SCSI or RAID controller, you must
use the 3rd party mass-storage device <F6> option, or WIN2K doesn't see
the drive.

5) Win2000 setup will now ask for a
TXTSETUP.OEM disk. Place the TXTSETUP.OEM disk in the floppy
drive, and press Enter to continue.
